The William Penn Digital Communication program hosted its first installment of its 2016-2017 Leaders Speak Series on Wednesday, October 5th at 6 p.m. in the Musco Technology Center. Magistrate Issaka Moussa from Niger, Africa spoke to a crowd of 70 students and community members about the power of forgiveness.

The game isn't the event planned for William Penn's annual homecoming. Students and alumni can look forward to an extended weekend from Thursday, October 13th , to Sunday, October 16th full of activities and social gatherings.

The fifth annual Navy & Gold Gala has been rescheduled. The William Penn Athletic Booster Club announced that the event is rescheduled for Saturday, April 8, 2017, at the National Guard of Iowa Armory in Oskaloosa.

The community is still buzzing after the Oskaloosa High School football team (6-2) won a very intense 28-27 win over the Washington Demons last Friday. This was a must win game for the Indians if they wanted to reach playoffs for the first time in three years.

The Oskaloosa Police Department is starting a Crime Free Multi-Housing Program. The program is aimed at educating property managers, landlords, and community members on how to reduce crime and increase safety.
